"This is your new house, meow! It has been shrunk with magic to allow easy transportation," Xyltora said, proudly showing a toy house the size of a palm.
It was like a dowwo-floor elvish-style mansion with a kit, living room, dining hall, library, two toilets, a bathroom, and five bedrooms. It was already furnished inside, having all the forts one needed.
"So pretty! I love it!" Evile's cheeks lifted, and her eyes turo crests in joy. She had always wanted a house like this.
"I did fork 10 million for it. I could build something far bigger if allowed to use materials." Tharick said while looking at the house.
Tharick wasn't kidding. Depending oerial, houses were inexpensive, and even stone manors of this size were worth 200-300 thousand at most, furniture included, let alone 10 million!
"Meow! Please don't pare those unmagical mortal houses with our houses, meow! Your home was built with Elderwood, which is resistant to fire, carved by elven artisans, and ented with durable ruhe toilets and bathrooms were ented with automatic hot and cold water dispensers and ing magic, giving maximum fort, meow. The kits have magical heating ptforms for cooking and lighting, and you only o charge the energy weekly, meow." Xyltora enthusiastically expined.
"The only downside is that it doesn't have a basement or attic for ste," Tharioted.
"Meow, that is expected. It is a mobile home, not a ste facility, meow. But it does have a trap door you use to dig up a basement or celr, meow. Just remember to pce the foundation properly, meow." Xyltora said, pointing at a trap door he batrance.
"Luckily, I already structed that yesterday," Tharick said.
The day before, he had already purchased nd, dug a basement, and made a foundation.
"But we do need a new Spatial Ring..." Evile said, feeling a bit troubled.
"Xyltora, do you have a spatial ring within a 10 millie?" Thariquired.
"Certainly, meow!" Xyltora's eyes lit up.
"Sir Tharick is truly my golden ticket!" Xyltora excitedly thought.
Meanwhile-
The seven sve girls chose their new equipment and clothes while quietly chatting.
"Our new master is generous..." Zuzo, the half-dwarf, half-demonic craftswoman, said with a smile while seleg crafting tools.
"Right~? I never had 100,000 at ond never dreamt of splurging a million in one go before~." Lixa said while trying on sexy ented clothes.
"Just for curiosity's sake, how did you end up in such a mess? Lust Demons are not known for being careless, especially not Deal Makers. I hear they are top earners adopted by demon nobility on the spot once discovered." Zuzo asked.
"It isn't o ask a girl's secrets~." Lixa pyfully said, shrugging off the question before showing a slutty dress she found, "Oh, do you think this will good on me~?"
"As long as you keep it in the bedroom..." Zuzo warily said.
"Aw... Where is your Lust Demon spirit?" Lixa pouted.
"I pour it into makioys and such lingerie, among other things," Zuzo replied.
"Ah! Then please ake me some ter, sister Zuzo~." Lixa fawned and said.
In another er, a Priestess and a Witch were having a theological debate.
"I still don't uand how sves could believe in Ixmis, a Deity of Mercy, as a sve. It truly baffles me how you could view being a sve as a mercy when your life is bound to another, fated for suffering at the whims of your master." Shana, the pink-haired half-elf, half-succubus Witch, said while choosing a magical staff.
"The merciful dy has many ways, and she sheds tears for all the suffering in the world, even for you and me. Her tears alleviate our suffering, allowing us to ehe hardships of life and heal our wounds and scars." Jessica, the voluptuous half-sheep girl, gently said while choosing a healing scepter.
"I still don't get it. I only believe that absolute power overe all, and belief is a tool of the strong to trol the weak," Shana said.
"A, a strong belief help the weak overe hardships and create miracles, where the belief of absolute power fixates one on the bleak reality. It is cruel to deprive the helpless of their faith." Jessica calmly replied.
"Yet the gods hold absolute power over the weak mortals. Don't you think that is hypocritical of a merciful being?" Shaed.
"There is no hypocrisy in it. The merciful dy actively tries to help mortals, shedding her sorrowful tears to cure the diseased and injured, and there are entire orders dedicated to helping the needy out of charity while charging more from the nobles," Jessica replied.
"A very eborate scheme to gain followers and money in one go, I am sure." Shana rolled her eyes.
"Perhaps, perhaps not. But I know the dy smiled at us this day, and we have a generous master." Jessica smiled while gng at Tharick.
"We don't know that yet. Nothing is free in this world." Shana said pessimistically.
"Would he spend so mu us otherwise?" Jessica asked.
"He just might be so filthy rich he doesn't care about money." Shana guessed the truth.
"Or our master cares about us more thaools." Jessica also guessed the truth.
"Hah... I hope you are right." Shana sighed and shook her head.
"See? Even you have faith." Jessica grinned, much to Shana's annoyance.
In another er, ahusiastic Pixie was helping a gloomy and indecisive sve girl buy things.
"Oh! Oh! Try this! It suits you!" Lilita happily flew over while holding a cute floral dress.
"I-Is it really okay for a sve like me to wear this?" Mary, the frail rabbit-eared girl, hesitantly asked.
"Absolutely! Brother Tharick said you buy clothes and equipment within a million! How cool is that?!" Lilita excitedly said.
"I-I don't know... I don't want to waste master's preoney..." Mary muttered while looking down.
"Kaa! Don't make a face like that while you get such good things! Smile, smile!" Lilita flew to Mary's fad forced a smile on her face with her hands. "See? Smile more! Like this! Much better!"
"Mumble* Mumble* (Please let go of my lips, please...)" Mary helplessly said.
Meanwhile, Mouva and Hanna were seleg armor and ons with the help of Torelia.
"Is this hammer to your liking?" Torelia asked while handing a two-sided axe-hammer to Mouva.
"Hm... This will do nicely." Mouva, the Amazonian Half-Mindiator, nodded while testing the hammer's weight.
"That's good. Hanna, do you need me t anything else?" Torelia asked the quiet Shadow Guard.
"Three 5th-level throwing daggers with Sharp and Silent entment, please." Hanna, the petite half-dobberman Shadow Guard, politely requested.
"Certainly." Torelia smiled and headed ihe staff room.
Oorelia was gone, Mouva casually asked, "What do you think of our new master?"
"..." Hanna didn't answer, busy seleg her new clothes.
"Not much of a talker, are you?" Mouva warily said.
"Yes," Hanna answered.
"I once fought and lost to someone like you, you know? One of my two only losses. If I didn't yield, I would have died." Mouva revealed.
"Is that so?" Hanna said in a monotone voice, unmoved.
"As a gdiator, every fight could end in my death. Most battles have a 1:10 death ratio for professional gdiators, so it is pretty rare for me to live after 57 battles. One side of me is gd I don't have to fight there anymore, but I would also miss the thrill of it. Funny, right?" Mouva said with a plicated look.
"I had to kill one of my fellows every year during my training, for a total of ten," Hanna said without emotion.
"We both had it rough, hah?" Mouva warily said.
"We are tools, and our past only served te us into ons usable by our master. Our purpose is to serve the master, nothing more or less." Hanna said monotonously.
"Speaking of our master, he sure is generous to spend a million on each of us like this. Even the equipment I used as a gdiator didn't surpass 30,000 in worth." Mouva said.
"Every tool needs proper handling to show its full potential," Hanna replied.
"Including the poor ss and the slut?" Mouva asked.
Hanna g Mary, who became a fashion model for Lilita to py with, and Lixa, who ig vanity clothing and jewelry.
"Perhaps wasteful." Hanna gave her judgement and tinued arming herself.
"You should also pie clothes and lingerie. I doubt we will only be ons, sidering our master is a half-incubus." Mouva ented.
"Noted," Hanna replied.

Several hours ter, Tharick, wearing a new Spatial Ring, left with Evile, Lilita, Torelia, and the seven sves with new armor and clothes.
"Please e again, meow!" The tricolor feline shopkeeper enthusiastically waved her hand at the shop entrance, uo wipe the huge grin on her lips. The issio was easily more than a million.
Wheownsfolk saw the group finally exit, some who had initially wao cause mischief held themselves ba fear. They could tell at a ghat this wealthy man had bought seven sves, each wearing expensive clothes and armor worth more than their lifetime savings.
They were just a weak outskirt town, the most powerful handful being 6th-level creatures, including Xyltora and Torelia.
Of course, some developed greedy ambitions, such as gathering information on the neuveu reich. While they might not take a, what about those who engage in banditry?
While Fey rules state that fair trade is required, what defines fair trade? One could bury the corpse of his victim in exge for taking his belongings. A fair bargain, no?
However, when the feao gather information cautiously followed them into the wild, they discovered the group was suddenly gone, and even their magical traces were hidden.
"Fiddlesticks!" They cursed auro the town without gains.
.
.
.
Sometime ter-
Tharick, havied to his inal form, carried Evile in his arms and six sves with his tentacle legs after castiherfall spells on them. And Torelia carried poor Mary, who passed out cold.
Soon, they arrived at their new nd, which spanned 80 square kilometers.
That's right, 80. Tharick purchased an 80-square-kilometer lot around his house and had the right to do whatever he wanted with the resources in a 5-kilometer radius, and no one was allowed to borrow, take, or steal from him without permissiohey would be penalised by the nd itself. One might mistakenly think it is cheap, but it is quite expensive, costing about as much as average farmnd. The nd would also belong to him until his death, and his desdants and lovers wouldn't be able to i the nd. But since he was immortal, this nd would belong to him until he was killed. And he po live a long, long life.
On an unpleasant side note, intruders could still invade and attack him, so it wasn't an absolute domain. It allowed him to destroy the forest within his territory and build whatever he wanted. Of course, if someoo kill him, he erfectly allowed to retaliate. And if a Fey attacked him, the Fey would be penalized.
After arriving at a clearing with ay stone foundation(That he made yesterday), Tharick let down the six sves and Evile before nding. After they nded, Mouva and Zuzo retched and ran to the side to vomit together.
"Blurgh* No more flying, please... Blurgh*" Mouva grumbled while vomiting.
"Hah... Hah... I prefer the ground- Blurgh*" Zuzo also vomited with teary eyes.
"Ah! Let Lilita help!" Lilita flew over and cast a healing spell on them.
Hum*
"Ah... fy..." Zuzo moaned in bliss.
"Many thanks..." Mouva closed her eyes, enjoying the sensation of her motion siess going away.
Meanwhile, Jessica gently cradled Mary while healing her. "There, there. Receive the grace of the merciful dy."
"Master, you look eveer than before~. So kinky and manly~." Lixa said while lig her lips, imagining what her new Master could do with those tentacles.
"Is that what you are fixated on? Our Master is a mutated abberant creature, you know?" Sha exasperated at Lixa's ck of awareness.
Only Hanna remaioimoved by her master's true appearand ready for orders.
Meanwhile, Tharick, Evile, Torelia, and Lilita were busy setting down the new house in the foundation they dug the day before.
Tharick took out the miniaturized house he had purchased a expand in the air, reag the size of a small mansion. Using the entments pced on it, he gently let it float into pder the guidance of the three women.
"A little to the left... No, that's too much. Slightly to the right..."
"Forward... Forward..."
"Lilita thinks it's perfect!"
"Okay, now gently..."
Thump*
The new house erfectly pced on the foundation ay basement.
"Perfect! It looks good!" Tharick smiled under his facial tentacles.
"Now that this is do's time to crify things to the sves," Evile said.
"Hm," Tharick grunted, knowing the topic shouldn't be deyed or avoided.
"Lilita will head baow!" Lilita said, notig it was getting te.
"I will also return to the shop," Torelia said.
"Okay, see you two tomorrow." Tharick let the two women fly away before looking at the seven sves, who had recovered slightly.
"As you noticed, I am a mutated abberant creature, but I was a human Wizard until st year, a result of being an experimental subject. Luckily, I retained my mind, so please don't get scared about my appearance. As you see, I am happily living with my wife, Evile, getting along with a Fairy and Pixie, and trading with the Heavenly Indulgerading Firm, which gives credibility to my words." Tharick expined.
"Master, if I may give my opinion, you don't o expin this to us sves. We are you're property already, and you have absolute power over us." Shana said at this time, stating the indisputable truth, earning the subscious nods of the other sves.
No matter what he was, they were already within his clutches. At that point, it didn't matter if he was a human, elf, beastman, wizard, or monster. All that mattered was how he would treat them.
"That may be, but I wao crify it first," Tharick said. "Now, I will give you several rules you must follow."
"First rule: Evile's words are sed only to mine. She is the house madam, and you shall follow her instrus. But I allow you to express your thoughts and pin if you feel mistreated or want to express an opinion. If you have any structive suggestions uements, please express them."
The sves inwardly nodded, finding it acceptable and favorable.
"Sed rule: You shall strive to grow stronger and work for my be, but I shall give you self-governan how to do it. You may also freely request resources when required."
This rule also worked greatly in their favor, so the sves were pleasantly surprised. But then started the real shock.
"Third rule: Do not overwork yourselves and remember to take ample rest and seek medical treatment when needed. We will discuss your work arras ter, as well as days off."
"Days off?!" The sves were baffled.
"Fourth rule: After you reach the 8th level, I shall grant you your freedom back, and you may choose to leave after signing a secrecy agreement and carve your destiny or stay as my subordinates, signing a more powerful tract. But be warhat once you choose, there is no going back."
"F-Freedom?!"
"The 8th level?! That would take turies! Does he think 8th-level powerhouses grow on trees?!"
"Why do you think we would choose to remain your sves if we were that powerful?! What are you, an Archmage? A god?"
The sves retorted in their minds, uo uand their master's insane words.
At this time, Evile added a rule that made them speechless.
"Rule number five: We won't force you to serve Tharick sexually, but you will not receive a dose of Tharick's blessed seed on that day. Of course, I wele you to help daily if you want." Evile said with a serious expression.
The women were relieved they were not forced into sex when they didn't want to, but they were also fused about what she just said.
"What do you mean by Blessed Seed? Are you implying Master's seed is holy?" Shana inquired with a strange look.
It sounded ridiculous, like tooting one's horn. Knowing this, Tharick decided to expin it.
"After my race ged, I only train through sex and ejag a so-called blessed seed, or how it is marketed, Liquid Blessing. This liquid has an effect simir to Succubus Milk and Dryad ar, but it is far more potent than those. To grow stronger and sell more liquid, I need your help. Of course, you would be rewarded for it." Tharick expined.
Except for Mary, who was ignorant of the terms mentiohe expressions of the others ged, including the stoina.
"I heard about it... Isn't that the ultra-expensive and rare liquid the powerful are crazy about tely? No wonder he gave those rules. If we drink this liquid daily, we would iably bee powerful." Mouva murmured.
"My trainer bought one before selling me. Only 8th-level powerhouses are eligible to purchase it." Hanna thought.
"It goes for 800,000 and is sold the moment it arrives on the shelves... Who the hell bought me?!" Shana's mind short-circuited.
"Praise be to the merciful dy..." Jessica mumbled a prayer.
"Does that mean I have infinite funds?" Zuzo's eyes shone.
"Jackpot~." Lixa trembled, feeling like she had just won the biggest jackpot in the o.
"Master, five me for being stupid, but I still don't get it..." Mary weakly raised a hand and said.
"Excellent point. Evile, how about we demonstrate it to them as the dy of the house?" Tharick asked with a smug grin under his tentacles.
"You just want sex, don't you?" Evile pursed her lips.
"Well, yes. But you should show them their pce as the first dy!" Tharick rightously said.
"You... hah. Fine." Evile rolled her eyes and looked at the seven bewildered women. "Okay, girls. I will give you a live demonstration of what you are dealing with. Let's go to the master bedroom."
